Description
FibrinX, Inc. provided tissue sealants for the wound care market. The company’s proprietary tissue sealant, developed from a non-mammalian source, was superior to current sealants in reducing blood loss, improving survival rates and eliminating the risk of blood-borne pathogens and a lower cost alternative.
Key Milestones Since Winning
In June 2005, Team members Jonathan Goodspeed and Dhaval Gosalia rang the opening bell at NASDAQ.
Value of Participating in the WBPC
"Participating and winning the competition has tremendous value. It gives you the opportunity to meet and talk to people with whom otherwise it would be difficult to get face time ... hot shot entrepreneurs, execs and VC's; it looks great on your resume and opening the NASDAQ makes a great story. However, if you are really lucky, and this doesn't happen often, you find a great team mate ... like I did."
Dhaval Gosalia, FibrinX team lead
